80%. Interesting. I'm at the 8th dungeon. I aaaaaaaalmost finished the Cave of Ordeals but died really far down. Yesterday I spent all my time collecting the rest of the bugs (the calculator says max is 24? I thought there was only 20? I definitely have all of them though), and beating level 1-8 of Rollgoal.

Come to think of it....is this the cave that can be found in Lake Hylia? If that is the case, then I have found it, but ran out of oil for my lamp.

No, that's something else (you know those blue glowing lanterns that attack you? there's a side quest involving those). Hint (highlight to see): The Cave of Ordeals is in the desert.

Today I finished the Cave of Ordeals, then went through the 8th dungeon, and got the last two remaining heart containers in the process. Now the only optional thing that I have left (I think—Rollgoal doesn't count ) is to find 12 more Poe souls. I have absolutely NO IDEA where they could be though, as I've been everywhere many times. That puts me at 88.4%. And oh, right, about 56 hours of gameplay.

Wow, that is humbleing...I am on the 5th dungeon and have only finished 40%. I thought I was farther along than that...The sad thing is, I have already spent 30 hours. Also, have you guys caught all of the fish. I spent about 5 hours fishing...

I've finished 77.4% of the game. I've got all the bugs, but only 36 Poes. I need to finish the Cave of Ordeals, but I died with only 4 levels to go. After 53 hours of playing, I just keep going back and fighting Ganon over and over; he just feels so easy compared to OoT (maybe that was due to playing the collectors edition on the Cube).

I think I'm about 17 hours in and I've only completed 21.72% of the game. I'm really slow actually, when it comes to Zelda games. I really want to get 100% of the items the first time through, so it'll probably be a while.

You're slow?

I'm over 9 hours in and only 6% done or so. Of course I rarely get to sit and play for more than an hour at a time due to work, kid, and other responsibilities...(at least I'm 99% sure I'm done with grad school, degree should show up any day now).

At this rate I might not finish it until I retire.

Oh yeah, you're slower . But sometime within the next 3 weeks, I'm gonna have the added responsibility of a kid too. Right now, though, it's tough for me to get any time to actually game (well the time that Zelda requires). Wii sports is easy to find time to play, but I have to stay up late to play any Zelda (2:30am last Friday).

Actually I'm at 6.671% so I think I win . It's even taken me forever to get there....

Of course I'm still not sure what the heart pieces question means? Is the first part how many hearts you have in your life bar with the remaining how many pieces of the 5 you need to add another heart? Depending on how I answer I can go from 5+% to 6.671% complete.

Yeah, that's what I took it to mean. Esp. considering both questions together.

I was at less than ten percent the about a week ago, now I am at twenty. Word of advice if you are early on, get a least one bug so you can get the big wallet. Does anyone have any advice when you are escorting the caravan (taking the zora child to the village)? I keep screwing that up. My main issue is with the flying monsters dropping those bombs... can't take them out in time. My game guide says to use Z lock to target, but it doesn't work with the bow?

It was kinda tough for me but I noticed that the bugs seemed to drop the bombs at the same place every time the carriage went in a loop so I rode out ahead and waited for them. Also, use the slingshot...I don't think you can Z target the bow...at least I haven't found a way so it makes it that much more difficult to shoot stuff while trying to ride too...

Thanks...I'll try it out. I hope I have ammo left for the slingshot. Anyone else think the guidebook is a waste of money except for finding heart pieces? Everything is such a footnote... no detail at all.
